We are Jews. We don’t make jokes about these things. We don’t dehumanize like this. Shame on Gvir. This is the type of commentary the Nazis would have made about us. Shame.

Ben Gvir posted this video on twitter today which shows fat and happy Palestinians on a conveyer built going through the Israeli "prison" (torture camp) system and coming out emaciated and maudlin. This is textbook genocidal content.

Speaking as someone who is somewhat nuclear-friendly, I feel it is unfortunate that some large portion of the Trump II nuclear mini-renaissance is some combination of drug-addled fantasy and obvious grift

Can't get numb to this: it's frightening how Trump et al have normalized lawless behavior by govt officials. US govt cruelty to immigrants is not remotely new, but people like Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, moved the Overton window on accepting scandalous outrages. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/30/w...

I don't think I've seen this news over here yet. Beyond poor Konrad, it does appear possible that several of the usual X cheerleaders are now Special Goverment Employees, confirmed at least in DataRepublican / Jennica Pounds case

Last week, Trump drew a red line: “ANY country” that does business with Iran will face “TREMENDOUS Economic Consequences.” This week, he suggested he doesn’t much care if Russia does business with Iran. Remember when the crossing of red lines was considered important?

Ben Gvir also posted a video of himself visiting an Israeli prison for Palestinian women in which he mocked their complaints about severely inhumane treatment to their faces. Again, this is a literal campaign ad meant to appeal to Israeli voters.

Ben Gvir posts material like this because it appeals to Israeli voters. This is, literally, a campaign ad. He posted it with a caption in Hebrew that translates to “We promised - we delivered!”

this is not where the 1% will go to restart civilization after a nuclear attack they will die, like the rest of us

This is where the 1% will go to restart civilization after a nuclear attack. But it for me thinking: what if the uber wealthy built these bunkers for more people — and not for nuclear attacks but for the climate crisis that will get us all — instead of trying to leave the planet?

Man fuck anyone who tries to do this to my man Brad Lander for clout. Why would anyone serious want to ally themselves with you if this is how you’re going to act toward your allies?

This is literally the same scenario as that Bad Art Friend article, except that in this case the person telling the story and encouraging people to do altruistic kidney donations is the famous one.

Jesse Eisenberg gave a kidney to someone he'll never meet. He still can't get over how easy it was.

"When I heard about kidney donations, my first thought was, why is there not a line down the block of the hospital?"

I don't think it should be controversial to say, "we will not provide financial or military assistance to a country where the Minister of National Security brags about popping people's dreams of 'food' and 'education' then sending them to a prison where they are starved."

Please remember that when you read these news notifications, news articles, and literal videos of Iran hitting US bases in Jordan that there are, according to Jordan, no US bases in the kingdom.
